Its an exploration of my current palette of cool and warm colours and how they interact.<br /><br />These are two colours only in each column right now (depending on the colour used and its bias, there technically can be three - cad lemon yellow and ultramarine for instance. Cad lemon has a blue/green lean and ultramarine a red/violet lean so red becomes the third colour introduced and desaturates the hue a little.)<br /><br />To go to that middle place where you neutralize the colour so neither is dominant usually uses complementary colours or a mix of three primaries and white.<br /><br />I will be looking at chromatic greys and blacks which do use three colours. Three will create desaturated colours which are necessary in painting, but can lead into colours that are too grey/brown if not careful. I think its important to know how to get "mud" instead of accidentally doing it.<br /><br />I'll also be charting a Zorn palette which is quite limited and see what lovely colours that produces.<br />Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-36708936664930729552014-02-28T11:43:33.418-03:302014-02-28T11:43:33.418-03:30Jeanette,

The middle place where neither hue dominates? <br />Also, are you only mixing two colors, or do you ever do a triad in one mix? <br />Thanks for the post<br />MaggieMaggiehttp://mockingbirdsatmdnight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-68072184417163103602014-02-26T20:03:44.929-03:302014-02-26T20:03:44.929-03:30I love the blues and greys in this Mary.
